Where to start

Start with the Core 4.

These four close the loop on one line on their own.

One loss through the Core 4
  1. Operations

    Sees the loss

    What ran, what stopped and which machine stopped it, against the shift's goals.

    In one loss

    Fri Oct 9 · 17:42 · Shift B. Filler · Jam at infeed starwheel · Unplanned · 47 min. The stop is long enough to prompt Start RCA.

    Production Dashboard
  2. Loss Elimination

    Finds the cause

    A long stop opens a root cause analysis, and the analysis ends in an owned action.

    In one loss

    RCA #219. 6W2H, Fish Bone and Why-Why end at: changeover checklist has no starwheel size verification step.

    Root Cause Analysis
  3. Action Planning

    Owns the fix

    Every miss gets an owner, a due date and a board, and climbs a tier when it needs to.

    In one loss

    #4190 Add starwheel size check to changeover checklist. Luis Ortega, created Mon Oct 12, due Thu Oct 15.

    Line Action Plan
  4. Autonomous Maintenance

    Holds the standard

    CILs, centerlines and changeover steps that keep equipment at base condition, due on every shift.

    In one loss

    When #4190 is done, the size check is a step on the Changeover Task List, so the next changeover runs it.

Every module

Every module, by what it puts on the plan.

Each card says what the module feeds the plan with and what it does.

Core 4where we suggest you start

  1. 01

    Action Planning

    Plan

    Action Planning is the plan.

    The plan itselfevery module ends here

    KPI results, root cause analyses, safety incidents, Management Safety Visits and project tasks land here as owned actions.

    What it does

    One plan for every owned action, on Line, Department, Plant and Site boards.

    Core 4

  2. 02

    Operations

    Production & downtime

    Feeds the plan with

    OEEUnplanned DT %StopsPC Completion %

    KPI results judged against your Goals, and the long stops that prompt a root cause analysis.

    What it does

    Collects production and downtime from a collector at the machine or the line tablet, and puts the shift's targets where operators work.

    Core 4

  3. 03

    Autonomous Maintenance

    Equipment care

    Feeds the plan with

    CIL Completed %CL On-Target %Defects FoundChangeover over Std %

    KPI results, and the checks each shift owes its equipment.

    What it does

    Holds equipment at base condition with the checks, standards and changeovers operators run every shift.

    Core 4

  4. 04

    Loss Elimination

    Problem solving

    Feeds the plan with

    6W2H Count

    Corrective actions with an owner and a due date, linked back to the RCA.

    What it does

    Takes a repeat loss from a clear problem statement to its root cause, and ends in an owned action.

    Preventative Maintenance

    Equipment care

    Feeds the plan with

    Sets the shiftwork orders due

    The work orders due on each line this shift, with a planned date and an assignee.

    What it does

    Plans, assigns and records maintenance work on a multi-level asset register.

  6. 06

    Quality

    Quality & execution

    Feeds the plan with

    RFT

    KPI results on how batch records move.

    What it does

    Keeps batch records traceable and moving, from the line to review.

  7. 07

    Production Execution

    Quality & execution

    Feeds the plan with

    Sets the shiftchecks on the running order

    The checks due on the running order, with the crew notified when one arrives.

    What it does

    Runs process-based orders step by step, with the checks that arrive on schedule.

  8. 08

    Safety

    Feeds the plan with

    IncidentsMSVSEEWork Permits

    Owned follow-ups from incidents and Management Safety Visits, and KPI results.

    What it does

    Shows every line's pre-shift readiness color on one Plant Safety Board, beside work permits, incidents and safety visits, with an owner for every follow-up.

  9. 09

    People

    Teams, attendance and skills

    Feeds the plan with

    Sets the shiftteams, who is away

    The team on each shift, and who is away from it.

    What it does

    Keeps teams, attendance and skills on record, so leads know who is on and who is trained.

  10. 10

    Supply Stream

    Scheduling

    The shift itself: its window, its team and its orders. Every other module's due work keys on it.

    What it does

    Sets the shift: when each line runs, which team is on and which orders run next.

  11. 11

    Inventory

    Materials

    Feeds the plan with

    Sets the shiftmaterials for the orders

    The material records production orders draw on, so what was used is booked against the order.

    What it does

    Tracks materials from goods receipt to the line: what you have, where it is and where it went.

Bring one line and its shift pattern. We'll show you which modules it needs and where each one meets the plan.
